Jack Klugman dons coroner's garb again when he guest-stars as Dr. Gelber, a respected senior medical examiner and mentor to Macy who must evaluate Gelber's work for possible errors.  Jordan seeks his assistance with one of her more puzzling cases. Earlier, Jordan and Detective Woodrow Hoyt had been called to the scene of a homicide, only to find the prime suspect -- the victim's 14-year-old daughter -- on a ledge threatening to jump. Convinced of the girl's innocence, Jordan enlists Gelber to help her prevent vengeful D.A. and former bedfellow Jay Myers from sending the innocent girl to jail.

Random Facts:

Quotes:

Lily: Nigel. Let me ask you a personal question.
Nigel: That’s your own risk.
Lily: Do you find me attractive?
Nigel: (pause) This is dangerous anyway you slice it. (turns back to computer)

DA: We both know what your job is Jordan.
Jordan: Oh what to be a puppet to the DA’s office?

Woody: The DA’s having my ass for dinner and as tasty as that may seem it doesn’t leave me much to sit on.

Woody: Okay contrary to popular belief I did not graduate from Hee Haw High.

Jordan: These are the best chimichangas in Boston man.
Woody: As far as I know they’re the only chimichangas in Boston. Chimichangas, chimichangas…what exactly is a chimichangas…doesn’t sound like something I really wanna put in my mouth.
Jordan: Come on farm boy, live a little.
Woody: I’m a very fussy eater.
Jordan: Oh, there’s a shock.

Jordan (to Keisha): I know you don’t even know me, but if you did you’d know I always keep my promises.

Kurt (Garrets friend): You know we are 2-7 without you at point guard. A little exercise would do you good.
Garret: And with responsibility comes weight gain.

Woody (to Jordan): …You wanna come play cops and robbers with me you’re more than welcome.

Lily: Let me ask you a personal question.
Nigel: At your own risk.
Lily: Do you find me attractive?
Nigel: This is dangerous, any way you slice it.
Lily: Don’t think, just answer. First thing that comes to your mind.
Nigel (running his fingers through his hair): Yeah, absolutely. Yes, you Lily are a very, very attractive woman.

Nigel: You have to figure out what it is you’re willing to settle for.
Lily: Is that what you do?
Nigel: No, I pretty much take anything that I can get.

Lily: Look at me. Size me up; undress me with your eyes, whatever it is that you men do. Would you have sex with me?
Woody: I’m from Wisconsin.
Lily: Exactly. You’re a regular guy. And you’re certainly above average looking. I just wanted to know if I’m the kind of girl you would have sex with.
Woody: Shouldn’t we go out to dinner first, maybe talk for a few minutes.

Woody: The DA’s having my ass for dinner, and as tasty as that may seem, it doesn’t give me much to sit on.

Woody (to suspect): I know it might be hard for you to believe, but I did not graduate from Hee Haw High.

Jordan (to Keisha): I’ll be back later.
Woody: Why, you gonna bring a cake with a file in it?

Woody: I got a C in chemistry Jordan, and my lunch is getting cold, could we get to the point.

Jordan: Rough initiation, huh. Lotta cops are lucky enough to go their whole careers without doing that (shooting somebody).
Woody: I wouldn’t minded being that lucky.

Woody: I wanna like you Jordan, I do, and, and I don’t just say that cause you’re hot, which you are, very. But you’re complicated.
Jordan: Well, that’s an understatement.

Jordan (laughing): Why Woodrow, are you jealous?
Woody: Yeah. (smiling)

Woody: You know Jordan I can be complicated too.
